An Arkansas Planter CHAPTER XV. At the close of a misty day Jim Tay lor stood at the parlor door to take his leave of Mrs. Cranceford. During the slow hours of the afternoon they had talked about Louise, or sitting In silence had thought of her; and now at parting there was nothing to be add ed except the giant's hopeful remark, "I believe we'll hear from her tomor row; I am quite sure of it." Repeti tion may make a sentiment trite, and Into a slangish phrase may turn a wise truism, but words spoken to encourage an anxious heart do not lose their freshness. "Yea, I am quite sure of It," he repeated. And the next day a letter came. It bore no post mark; the captain of a steamboat had sent It over from a wood-yard. The boat was an unimportant craft and Its name was new even to the negroes at the landing, which. Indeed, must have ar gued that the vessel was making Its first trip on the Arkansas. The com munication was brief, but It was filled with expressions of love. "I am be ginning ...
